PESTICIDAL ACTIVITIES OF FORMULATED FISHPOND BIOFERTILIZERAND ITS EFFECT ON GROWTH PARAMETERS OF PHASEOLUS VULGARISL. (RED KIDNEY BEANS)

Abstract

Waste of organic material contains essential nutrients for plants growth, these organic wastes is converted biologically into humus compound which act as a suitable plants growth media that is known as composting process. Composting technique is one of the best systems to reduce pollution from the environment and improve soil fertility. In the present study, use the fruits and vegetables waste as valuable nutrients rich organic compost with fishpond sediment on the growth and productivity of red kidney bean plants as well as to control the infestation of its pest. Growth and development of red kidney bean plants was observed to measure plant height.Three different products were used with three different ratios (3:1, 1:1, 1:3) of biofertilizer (organic compost ) with formulated fishpond biofertilizer (organic compost + fishpond sediment) and one control was included. Each treatment contains three replicates. Observations of red kidney bean plants were taken of four months (June to September).The highest treatment ratio of formulated fishpond biofertilizer i.e., 3:1 shows significant result in the comparison of other treatments of biofertilizer and control. According to the study, the formulated fishpond biofertilizer are effected significantly on growth rate of plants and also inhibited the pest infestation.
